run another php file, in another folder on the linux server

[alis5]

Hello,

 

I'm trying to have my index.php to open/run another test.php file.

I'm having my own server that I play with, that I run Ubuntu on.

 

So the index.php are located at /var/www/ directory, but I want to run a file that are located at /testing/test.php

 

The final test.php is file for showing pictures, and I don't want to out all the pictures under the /var/www/ location.  It's alot  of photos.

I don't know much about php but I have been trying this:

 

<?php

header("Location: /var/www/testing/test.php");

    //These below are desperat old tries.

//header("Location: ./testing/test.php");

//header("Location: ../testing/test.php");

//$handle = fopen("/privat/Web_pictures/test.php", "r");

//"/testing/test.php"

// header("Location: ./test.php");  //This one actually works, but I'm still in the wrong folder (/var/www/)

echo "test "; // NN4 requires that we output something...

exit();

?>

 

Thankful for help!

the Location: header is a redirect for the browser, it doesn't execute anything until the user's client (browser) follows the redirect, but it will be unable to follow the redirect because the destination is outside of the public directory.

 

what you CAN DO is include that file

 

include('../../testing/test.php');

Tanks for the help! 

 

That took me one step further.

But now I got stuck on original file (from SFPG).

It's still showing the pictures from the /var/www/ directory. It's all has to do with the top lines (at least I think so). so I copied my tries in here.
